Thermal properties of (NH4)(32)[Mo138O416H6(H2O)(58)(CH3COO)(6)].approximately 250H(2)O: on the route to prove the complexity of a nanostructured landscape - especially with different type of H2O ligands - embedded in an 'ocean' of water molecules

Derivatographic analysis (TG, DTA and DTG) coupled with mass spectrometry, FTIR spectroscopy as well as water sorption experiments were used to study the thermal properties of (NH4)(32) [Mo-110(VI) Mo-28(V) O-416 H-6 (H2O)(58) (CH3COO)(6)]. approximately 250 H2O (1) exhibiting the nanosized 'giant wheel' anion. The particular stages of sample transformations are discussed and compared with the known single crystal X-ray structure of (1). The giant wheel type clusters appear approximately to be stable up to 350 degreesC. Interestingly, the complex system can be formally considered as a nanostructured landscape embedded in an 'ocean' of water molecules. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
